Germany legend Franz Beckenbauer has revealed he hopes Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will manage Bayern Munich ‘one day’.
Klopp guided Liverpool to the sixth European Cup in the club’s history on Saturday, with goals from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi securing a 2-0 victory over Tottenham in Madrid.
The win was Klopp’s first major trophy since arriving at Anfield in 2015, with the German also overseeing a league campaign which saw them finish second with a club-record 97 points.
Former Bayern star Beckenbauer, who won three European Cup’s with the German giants, has spoken of his admiration for Klopp and hopes that he will ‘one day’ be in charge at the Allianz Arena.
“I wish for nothing more than that one day he will come to Bayern,” Beckenbauer told Bild.
“For me he is one of the world’s best coaches. What he started in Dortmund, he has refined with Liverpool.
“I believe that a job in England robs you of your strength. You have even more responsibility as a so-called manager at a Premier League club than a coach in the Bundesliga.”
